If you are running a subwoofer than these are perfect and have much more midrange than the RTi A7's for half the cost.
I am very pleased with these speakers.
I bought a pair of RTIa5's to use as left and right front speakers in my home theater.
I bought my first loudspeakers a dozen years ago, and after listening to countless models I selected Polk RT's.
I had done a lot of reasearch on speakers before I bought these.
I just added the Cerwin Vega!
Don't let the small size of the speaker and drivers fool you!
I added this to my other speakers (I have 4 other speakers) and it really helps.
I have heard a lot from all these people saying that Cerwin Vega speakers are loud and unclear.
I have two CV E-712 speakers and they have been in need of a new center channel speaker.
Really a great set of speakers.***
For someone who wants great sound at a great price, I whole-heartedly recommend these speakers!
Altec Lansing had a great idea with these speakers, but their final implementation was just off the mark.
Computer speakers seem to come in two varieties -- you've got your pile of small satellite speakers with wires strung everywhere and a big fat floor-sitting subwoofer or you've got the ever-popular free but tinny sounding little plastic disposable de...
First, some background information before my impressions of these Altec Lansing speakers.
this set fits great, sounds good and has really helped me get the surround sound working the way i wanted it.
these are perfect to mount flush against the wall/ceiling.i'm running a 7.1 system with a p-460 as center, p-442 as left/right, p-430 as surround and the bravo ii's as backs- if you want true
really easy to hang from drop ceiling, matched up nicely with the p series center channel.
sound quality is top notch,keep pushing them and they keep putting out high quality sounds.
I am using these speakers as side surround speakers in a 5.1 setup.
house, & just outside my patio i installed a stereo volume control purchased from radio shack for $40.00, & from in-wall volume control to the speakers mounted about 15' apart..just under the eave.
i play internet radio through my computer & have a headphone to stero rca adapter going to my amplifier & from the amp i ran telephone line through the attic to the other side of the house, & just
The performance of the Yamaha NS-AW390BL's are every bit as good (if not better) than Bose.
Can't beat these for the price.
I bought these speakers to use at our college football tailgate party.
As a 1 speaker box solution I think it works well.
Nice sound.
After all, it is a sound bar.
I wanted to get a more compact system with great sound for a small loft.
I didn't want to run wires all over ant the wife acceptance factor played heavily in choosing a Surroundbar.
the sony ss-cr3000 is a great, economic addition to your surround sound system.
these speakers nicely replaced my old surround sound system front 3 speakers, they work great, not high end, but for the price and combined with my 10inch sony subwoofer, these sound great.
the center channel speaker works very well and the surround speakers hang nicely on the wall (speaker wire included, too.
i was watching pirates of the caribbean 2 to test things out, it's like you're in the movie.
i'm a little chagrined i waited so long to immerse myself in the world of 5.1 surround sound.
Great sub for my needs.
I got this to extend the bottom end of a pair of Bose 301 speakers.
I have it hooked up to a Sony DA 3100ES 125 W Reciever with a Polk RM 6900 Front and Center speaker and RM 6800 with (B TECH) BT34S Mounts in my living room.
I needed a new sub with alittle more punch so a went with the dsw-400 I must say for a 8'' sub you will not be sorry.
Purchased the Pro400 for my medium sized 14x19 family/HT room to complement my Denon/Boston/Polk 7.1 home theater receiver & speaker setup.
After having these speakers (also have the promonitor 1000's and BP1.2X surrounds) for about six months, I can recommend them whole heartedly.
If you're looking for a speaker that's better than most but at the same time won't break your budget, the DEFTECH line of speakers is defintely a good investment.
I love the speaker.
The Definitive Technology ProCenter 2000 is part of my new 5.1 surround system, which also includes four of the company's ProMonitor 1000 speakers and their SuperCube III subwoofer.
I used a pre-out RCA from my receiver to the clr low and speaker wire to the mid and high.
I use this sub with Polk RTi55 fronts and Polk center and rear speakers.
My Omni H10 sits in a 14x14 room's corner, turned up only 1/3 the way with the crossover set on 110, and produces extremely tight bass.
The Mirage S10 powered subwoofer definitely delivers the punch.
And it was easy to blend with my Mirage Omnisat V2 FS main speakers.
I now own a 10 inch and an 8 inch Mirage sub for two seperate systems.
Great speakers, they fill my backyard with excelent sound.
I have them hooked up on my deck already!
I'm buying a 3rd set of these for home.
We are simply thrilled with these speakers!
We received these speakers quickly and in good condition.
I bought 2 of these Polk speakers to replace my 20 year old yamaha left-over-from college bookshelf speakers -- with a mind to create a really exceptional audio environment in my small living room.
I have a pair of these, 2 pair of the larger RM8 for front and side, and the center channel.
This center channel mounted perfectly at the base of my Samsung TV.
This speaker is smaller than the one I had to replace (new 52 inch LCD sits too low and was obscured by my larger Polk center speaker) but it still projects a marvelous sound presence that is not buried by the larger right and left speakers.
I am really amazed by the sound of these small speakers.
I have this since last 2 month.
I just purchased these from a store that was going out of business for $200, new, sealed in box.
I purposely bought this system because of the Piano Black finish and it's compact size.
I'm not a huge audiophile or anything, but I can tell you these are the most worthless speakers I've ever heard.
I was ticked at the lack of wiring instructions from Yamaha but five minutes online yielded a site with step by step instructions.
I got the Boston Acoustics CS26 because of the wonderful Boston Acoustics CR77 speakers I own.
I was looking for a bookshelf speaker that would not sacrifice sound quality.
I auditioned a lot of speakers, including B&W's.
Solid construction, great looks and amazing sound.
The bass is tight and the highs are crystal clear.
awesome sound...
I will be adding the Yamaha iPod dock today also so I can listen to Pandora through it.
Great alternative to having lots of speakers everywhere.
This Yamaha sound bar system, although it doesn't have that true 5 speaker surround sound, it is the next best thing.
Yamaha YAS-71BL Front Surround System (Black)
(in fact, I paid less for the receiver, speakers, blu-ray DVD, HDMI and 16 gauge speaker wire at Amazon than the speaker system alone at the store).
I was planning to order these speaker from Electronic Expo, but their extremely low price prompted me to do a little research.
The unit come with all the is needed to wire, hang and install speakers.
I've purchased this set and for what they're intended to do is more than adequate for my bedroom.
These were a gift for our son.
Amp recommendations: These speakers are really nice, Klipsch made a terrific job here, so please don't go cheap on the amplification.
Klipsch lives up to its name and produces a very clear mid-high range sound, but one that isn't too harsh.
I was amazed as to how wonderful those speakers (2) sound.
the RF-52's are a very nice addition to a home theater system.
The Klipsch RF-52 speakers produce an amazingly full, rich sound, especially at mid-level volumes where we usually listen to music to unwind and relax in the evenings.
for the price, these speakers are great, they are not high end speakers but i'm using them as surround sound speakers (highs only) in four different rooms throughout my house with a total of 11
Easy to install directions and they are working great.
Good quality speakers at a reasonable price!!
I was sceptical at first but after shopping around for a few weeks I decided on these speakers from overstock.
The description did not mention that a purchase included not one but two speakers; so we were pleasantly surprised when we received two pairs not two speakers.
As stated by others, this is not a "true" surround sound system.
I did not want wires and speakers everywhere.
I have a small odd-shaped basement with limited electrical power, so I chose this over a conventional set of speakers and amp.
Secondly, surround sound needs a large array of speakers when small apartments just don't have the space to effectively generate "real surround".
For their size, these speakers are brilliant, you get some usable bass and bags of detail.
I bought a pair of c-50 6 months ago, had them broken in, and the sound IS still 'muffled", and not as bright.
Out of the box, these speakers sound way too bright.
I have 4 Energy C-50's and a Center C-C50 linked to a Harmon Kardon AVR-254 Receiver.
I was using a 35 year old pair of Infiniti 4000's as my rear surround sound speakers and recently listened as the woofers gave out.
